Our Product

At the heart of Topman's business is a reliable in-house designed main range, which revolves around the latest trends and is refreshed on a monthly basis. This is where staple items such as jeans or t-shirts are given twists and tweaks to suit fashion's current mood. A premium collection sits alongside this main range with an added focus on fit, detail and fabrication. The development of a strong suiting line, which includes classic shapes alongside more directional cuts bring a more formal element to the overall collection.

One of the current debates within fashion for more ecologically friendly product has been embraced by Topman with a line that focuses on FAIRTRADE cotton. This has been certified to meet international Fair-trade standards.

In Autumn/ Winter 2005 the debut Topman Design collection, headed by Topman design director Gordon Richardson and created by his in-house design team, arrived in key stores. With a distinct emphasis on developing more individual, design-led clothing, this collection pushes trends harder - often creating its own - and provides a top-end line for the brand.

Since launching, it has won stockists such as London's Selfridges, where it has its own concession, Barney's New York, Fred Segal in LA, Opening Ceremony both in New York and LA, LA Foret in Japan, Colette in Paris and Shine in Hong Kong and Beijing. Topman design is shown seasonally at London Fashion Week on the official schedule, as part of the catwalk event MAN - a collaborative partnership between the highly reputable Fashion East initiative and Topman.

Topman is dedicated to new talent, which can be seen through the various projects that have involved emerging designers. Names such as Kim Jones, Markus Lupfer and Peter Jensen have all crafted unique designs for Topman. The collaborative projects Lens, essentially a boutique within the Oxford Circus - the clothes are sold online - has pushed this idea further still.
